Are you wanting “races” or just something out of the ordinary?
If you’ve winter experience (and a fat bike) then the Rovaniemi 150 is a great event/race. An alternative winter bike race would be the Fat Viking if it’s still being run next year, I can’t remember seeing entry requirements as strict as for Rovaniemi.
I’m doing the FD and am looking forward to it, I doubt I’ll be worrying the fast riders 🙂
Running: One of the big three rounds (BGR, PBR, CRR) or something like The Spine or Dragon’s Back
@celticdragon – there are no qualifiers as such for the HT550 just events that it helps to have done. Basically completing them shows that you can handle yourself in rough terrain for several days.
@cynic-al – sounds a bit like overtraining. I reckon I had this since last October: no oomph, very tired (going to bed at 9:30), Strava times getting worse despite “trying”. I’ve taken to using a HRM. All my commutes are in Zone 1 and weekend rides are Zone 2 (if possible) and things are improving.
